Media Consultant
Marketing | Communications | Social Media
Website Design | Website Maintenance
For companies, individuals and non profits, I assist in building websites, maintaining content, and everything in between. I love working with a variety of individuals in making their dreams a reality with a stronger online presence.
It's great to work with people from the first discussion on what they would like to see to setting up the website, incorporating their own photos and information, and being able to share the site in real time!
After launching a website, I am able to work with individuals or groups on creating strategic marketing plans to help bring traffic to their website, gain a google ranking, and make conversions. Need help with your site? Connect with me today or view my company EStar Productions.
Center for Performing Arts Songbook Celebration 2014 + 2015
TheCenterForPerformingArts.org | Planning Committee Member
The Songbook Celebration is the annual fundraising gala to benefit the Center for the Performing Arts, a 501(c)3 non-profit arts and culture organization. It is also an evening to celebrate the Center’s affiliation with the Great American Songbook Foundation by inducting the 2014 and 2015 class of honorees into the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame.
As a committee member I assisted in all aspects of planning the event, but was directly responsible for developing and implementing marketing strategies to create a strategic social media calendar to introduce and pay tributes to the honorees as well as engage young professionals in attending the weekend celebration through blog articles, social media and collaboration with local young professional organizations.

Redefining the Dream
RedefiningtheDream.org | Operational Manager
The Redefining the Dream team consists of 14 students and a faculty mentor.
Redefining the Dream is a Virginia Ball Center project that wishes to reexamine the "American Dream" related to housing in order to provide information about various housing options as a resource for future generations.
Redefining the Dream wishes to remove the negative connotations associated with many housing options, specifically multi-family housing. By analyzing the housing messages in various children's products, we are able to provide recommendations for educators, families, and children so that they provide materials for future generations to make informed housing decisions throughout their lifetimes.
As operational manager, I worked with and led our group on research and design in the development of a website, documentary and final showcase in spring of 2012. Through this role, I led part of our group in organizing and presenting our program with a discussion on different housing structures at the East Central Indiana Association for the Education of Young Children Conference.
